CHAPTER III.
A few days after the ladies Of Leafy
Hill were sitting in the morning room
when the maid brought in a card and
said gentleman had called to see her
mistress. Now Aunt Judy had been
very busy all the morning working for
bazaar, and she was at present engaged,
with Gays help, upon o beaded pin
cushion.
"Bless me!'' cried the old lady, rolling
over box of delicate pearl beads in her
confusion. Here's my nephew young,
Marston, come to see me, without so
much as days notice. Very incon.
siderate of him, and ! dare say he's been
in England a month or more. l shall

I'm so busy, too, and not fit to be seen

up all these beads, there's dear,

all these things can be put away. l

Aunt Judy hustled off.
Gay was on her hands and knees in
moment, anxious to hide the quick flame
that leaped into her cheeks. She gath
cred up all the beads in fever OF ex-
citement, and then sat down Oh sofa,
waited breathlessly. After long, long
time, she heard Aunt Judy toiling down
stairs. The drawing-room opened; she
sprang forward in time to see Aunt
Judy's lilac skirt sweep across the
threshold-in time to hear: "How do
you do Aunt Judy?' in q strong, sweet
voice, that thrilled through every fibre
of her being. Yes, it was Theodore

The skill which Mr.. Clay learned in
boyish encounters was Of use to him after
ward. for statesmen in Kentucky were
addicted to fst:cuffs. The Hon. James
c. Sprigg, member of the Kentucky
legislature, and afterward elected to con-
gress, had been very fortunate in such
affairs. He once. when in his cups, COM
municated TO Mr.. Clay the secret of his
success. Ii was TO advance upon his
enemy with n pleasant expression of
countenance, and, having thus thrown
him OFF his guard, TO strike him a heavy
blow in the face. and keep at it until he
was beaten. Messrs. Clay and Sprigg
afterward quarreled, and met by accident
at the hotel, in a room occupied by
number Ct the members. "As soon
says Mr.. Clay, ''as SpTigg, who was evil

Some time ago had occasion to call at
tention 10 the shady business transactions
Of number of syndicates of sharpers,
whose plan of operations has been 10
secure franchises for public improvements
from interior towns and cities. which they
have hawked about in New York city and
sold TO syrlicates. These syndicates
would proce .d to build rickety street ear
lines or faulty water works systems with
the sole object in view of selling the stock
and bonds Of the companies. The towns
and cities which have granted such fran
chises without thorough investigation of
the credit Of persons applying for them
have almost invariably been supplied with
faulty systems of public Improvements.
This sort of thing has been carried on to
such an extent as TO produce reaction,
and now encouragement has been given 10
solid investors To- enter upon solid lines OF
work.
An extensive contractor for the cor
struction of water works remarked: ~
great deal of solid investment is taking
place in the improvement of towns aud
cities over the country, where within
few years it has been the custom to make
such improvements merely for the sale Of
stock ai9 bonds. The day for that kind
of wildcat work has gone by. Men with
money have discovered that in the con-
struction of solid and substantial public
improvement in growing places there is
ample remuneration in a legitimate way
Recently l have constructed number o.
waterworks systems for syndicates CT
capitalists, who have put their money
in these systems for permanent in
vestment, and could net be induced to sell
a dollar of the stocks or bonds In doing
work for this class of investors l have
found that they are satisfied with nothing
but the best, indicating therein their pur-
pose TO make long investments. In some
instances these syndicates have gone into
towns and cities where faulty public i'm
provements existed. have bought up the
stock of the Ole concerns, rcorganizeG the
and then reconstructed every
thing. This is good work for the entire
country. Cor. New York Tribune
